A 1 VIM. OH. XV O K cfrort8. Tho Sl,ln,,ar(, Cattlc company
has been a boon to the farmers of Dodge
Tho Standard Cattle company at Ames, Is
a typical representative of one of tho most
potent factors In tho dovelopoment of the
west. Organized originally In Wyoming,
whero it controlled two great ranches nnd at
one tlmti .15,000 head of cattle, It fln.illy
decided to move Into NebrnHkn, whero Its
range stock could bo fed for tho markets.
In 1SSG, 4,600 nrres of land In tho l'latte
river valley, about fifteen miles west of
Fremont, were purchased, ami many thou
sand acres have since been leased in both
Dodgo and Cherry counties. Tho head
quarters of the company was located at
Ames, a small station on the Union I'aclllc,
and hero linmeriHo elevators, barns, sheds
and feed yards have been built. Tho barns,
which alone cost $55,000, nnd which are
the largest and best arranged of
any In the west, have a floor space of moro
than 121,000 square feet and were Intended
orlglnnlly to house 3,000 head of cattlo
but the company hns handled sheep exten

slvely of lato years and the cattle have boon
relegated to the feed lots. This great barn
Is so arranged that tho feed may bo dis
tributed to the troughs by means of small
cars running on tramways through the
building, and tho Honrs an 1 reed boxes nre
frequently Mushed with wnter, which washoa
away all refuse Into sewers which lead to tin
river. With this arrangement tho barns
are kept remarkably clean and 10,000 head
of sheep can be fed In one hour.
The company Is capitalized at $1,000,000,
Its principal sto kholders being eastern
men, wlili the exceptlcu of Mr. It. M. Allen,
who li general manager nnd a thorough
cattleman of many years' experience. Slncu
Us establishment at Ames In 1XSU, this com
pany has fed .'!, 500,000 bushels of corn, of
which 7:i:i,000 bushels wero produced on Its
own land. 11 employs from 150 to 250 men
has paid out in wages over $020,000
moro than $18,000 In taxes. During
time (ifi,7!2 head of cattlo havo been
an average of more tlinn 1,000 encli
year, and 10,11!0 fat hogs have been sent to
market.
In 1803 Mr. Allen began the culturo of
sugar beets and like everything nttomptod
by this compnny It was done upon a large
county. ulTordlng them a ready markot for
all surplus products, and tho sugar factory
will add still moro to their material pros
perity. Tho pulp from tho beets will be
utilized as feed for cattlo and sheep so that
ench Industry will supplement and aid the
other.
Iimt year the cattle company grew 1 ,t7
neres of beet upon its own farm nnd this
year tho acreage will probably be about 3,000
The crop last year was Injured by floods In
tho valley, but a drainage canal eight miles
In length and with a number of lateral
ditches hns been constructed, so that this
danger bus been prnctlcally eliminated. Mr
Allen's persistent efforts wero largely In
strumental in securing this ditch, wlilMi was
built by the county, and he had many dif
ficulties to overcome bet. re the bonds wore
finally voted, but no one now questions the
benefit which It will ultimately bring to the
entlro county. During the busy season last
year nearly 800 people wero employed In the
beet fields at one time and they moved
ncross tho landscape in companies, bat
talions and brigades. In fact tho labor
problem nt Ames is becoming a serious mat
ter and there Is room nnd profitable em
ployment for several hundred farmers and
their tnmlllcH In the Immediate vicinity of
